I am Nana's Angel Tree Warrior

Why Help?

For a child like Nana, every day that passes is a step closer to a heartbreaking deadline. Most children born with Down syndrome (or other genetic disorders) in other countries are killed at birth; others are put into orphanages, where they will stay until they are five years old (read more about this at Reece's Rainbow). At five years old, if they have not been adopted, they are transferred to adult mental institutions. Once there, these children do not survive long. In most cases, money is the only thing standing in the way of a family adopting one of these angels. The typical cost for adopting a child like Nana is $20,000. Nana already has $1,000 funded toward the cost of her adoption. My goal is to help Reece's Rainbow collect the full cost of her adoption so that her loving family will not have to pay anything to welcome their beautiful daughter into their home.

About Me

I'm a wife, mother of three, English Ph.D., and child advocate. I'm trying to find ways to help those who are the most vulnerable amongst us. This particular blog was started to help a little girl with special needs who must be adopted. Because I have a genetic disorder that limits my own life expectancy, adopting one of these children will be very difficult for my family. However, this doesn't mean that I can't help make this dream a reality for someone else.
